Of course it has Script, He Knows, Chelsea and Forgotten...

On the other hand, while they both are 4/5 worthy, Garden Party and The Web are not in the same league for me...

And those are what prevent me to giving it a 5 :/

I share your position, Jethro. Script, Chelsea and Forgotten are some of the best songs I ever heard.

They are all in my top 5 Marillion songs. Have you heard Misplaced Childhood and Fugazi? I've seen you havent rated them (you know Real to Reel, and it's a good thing). There are a big amount of gems to be found!

I have really tried, and I will again, but they didn't click like Script. To put it harshly, I find Misplaced too polished and boring and Fugazi annoying.

I think the songwriting is a bit different on those. Or something. So I've been feeling wary of rating them.

Ugh the opening 2:23 minutes of Assassing hurt my ears. And who the hell thought that simple synth line in the verse was a good idea? The song only gets good for me around 4:18.

Edit: Now at Jigsaw. I forgot how much I dislike that song. This is not good for me. OK, the solo is good, but the Chelsea variation is better.

Yeah I see where you're coming from with ''Assassing'', and I tend to agree at some point, even if I still like the entire song as it is. And I personally like ''Jigsaw'' really. In fact, I think that the whole album contains from great to superb songs. ''Emerald Lies'', ''Incubus'' an ''Fugazi'' are all classic songs of theirs, don't you agree...

Fugazi is closer to Script than any subsequent albums, but Fugazi is more pop-oriented than the previous album (''Assassing'', ''Punch and Judy'', ''Jigsaw'') but it has also darker atmospheres (''Emerald Lies'', ''She Chameleon'', ''Incubus'' and ''Fugazi''). I really think that Fugazi is a perfect follow up of the darker Script.

With Misplaced Childhood, the band's music took on a still more commercial vein, but I think the album is their magnum opus, and a great listen from A to Z. Try to listen to it starting with ''Lavender'', and tell me it's not a perfect album.
